Civilization is not a linear development that's you need a log chart to make sense of it
Why can't Charles Murray and his white supremacist lackeys do it with a log chart?
Is it because they want to misrepresent progress to have recency bias?
probably because his average reader ant understand the log chart
>Human accomplishment is actually *funny* in how poorly reasoned it is. It is full of charts like this:
You dont understand, making an elevator go 10% faster is equivalent to inventing glass blowing
consider that you have to have invented the elevator, while glass blowing is peanuts compared to that.
Slimy little retard
why dont your trains run on time tho?
Why not ask the guy instead of screeching here?
Nassim Taleb savagely debunked this feces. move on already.
>Nitpicking
Murray's core points still hold.
Cope more.
>that
>nitpicking
Murray's entire scholarship goes into the trash with that single screenshot lol
Humanitards can't into math. See

kek
Kek i love seeing mathlets btfo themselves
In his Medium piece on the topic he mentions the exact average IQ of Lebanon LMFAO
how is this man such a perfect parody of himself
He's literally wrong about several of those, a few exceptions don't debunk a trend
Murray just collected data. If someone else had done it, the main patterns wouldn't have been different.
It's like saying Bitcoin going from 30k to 69k is more important than Bitcoin going from 1 dollar to 1000 dollars.
1 dollar to 1000 dollars is way more important you imbecile. The patterns are not in favor of Charles shitray
Sumerians don't exists today. Greeks achieved way more than the later non-whites (at least before they were influenced by westerners). And the number of inventions/discoveries of the modern West is incomparable to anything else in history.
Seethe and Cope.
The modern inventions of the west can't even hold a candle to gunpowder and paper that were invented by the chinks
Don't forget the compass
You can't possibly be arguing that.
Those are just two chemical process among a myriads. Even just in chemistry the western discoveries were way more important. Besides, gunpowder in China was pretty much just used for fireworks (and some primitive, irrelevant weapons). It's the west that developed the high-quality canons (for example the huge cannons that allowed the Ottomans to capture Constantinople were developed by a Central European engineer) and especially the small arms which revolutionized warfare. As for paper, it only started really mattering when it caused a huge surge of learning in the West as printing was developed there.
>It is well to observe the force and virtue and consequence of discoveries. These are to be seen nowhere more clearly than those three which were unknown to the ancients [the Greeks], and of which the origin, though recent, is obscure and inglorious; namely printing, gunpowder, and the magnet. For these three have changed the whole face and stage of things throughout the world, the first in literature, the second in warfare, the third in navigation; whence have followed innumerable changes; insomuch that no empire, no sect, no star, seems to have exerted greater power and influence in human affairs than these three mechanical discoveries.
I'd rather listen to Francis Bacon himself, thanks.
He died in 1626, conveniently missing many of western civilization’s greatest accomplishments, but sure listen to the guy who died before someone like Newton was even born.
All three would have been irrelevant if Europeans hadn't developed them further and figured out their proper use (add European age of exploration for the compass). Also when Bacon lived the West hadn't accomplished much yet (excluding Ancient Greece) and those inventions were new so they would have impressed him strongly.
How do you know these three inventions would be thrown into the trash if not for the west? Present your sources
Well, regardless, the fact remains that innovation pertaining to these inventions stagnated in China and the Middle East even though they were known there first, and exploded in Europe. And there's still all the other achievements of the West.
Doesn't matter what it was used for. Porn was invented by whites but its mainly used by israelites and blacks to create BBC on white woman
3/4 of the west didn't participate in any of these discoveries so clearly it isn't a question of "race" but specific circumstances that occured after the renaissance
That's a non sequitur, the West isn't necessarily racially homogeneous. The regions that accomplished most (England, Scotland, France, Germany, Northern Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, etc.) are pretty close to one another.
Also I'm not arguing that race is the only factor just that the West's achievements are more important.
It certainly is a question of race as the latest advancements in genetics show. There is a gene that predisposes Icelandic people to pursue higher education and predisposes them to write a book. Genes predispose behavior and behavior over generations creates genes which predispose behavior. A race largely chooses what is important to it thus later defining their genetic traits. Specific circumstances certainly contribute but the race itself is almost entirely responsible for creating those circumstances. If Da Vinci was born in the Congo and the only white man there he would never have learned from previous masters and never would have had the safety and opportunity to discover what he did. He was able to do what he did because he lived in the Italian region, despite it being in a state of conflict which presented wholly different circumstances than states of conflict in the Congo due to actors involved - Race.
>predisposes them to write a book.
doesn't make sense since both writing and books are constructs I don't see how genes could relate to this
as for the rest you imply that all europeans got the same mutations ? How ? Also why it took millenias before we reach such level while the current european genepool was already set roughly 4000 years ago ?
Notice Europe only spikes after 1600 which is when euros invented a fuckload of stuff.
Exactly
